The Ski Trab Vario Light is touring equipment reduced to its most essential, most elegant form. Designed and built in Bormio, Italy, this binding embodies Ski Trab’s obsession with mechanical purity—where fewer parts mean greater reliability, lower weight, and unwavering performance deep in the mountains.
At the heart of the Vario Light is Ski Trab’s Titanium Core toe unit: a single, precisely engineered titanium component that delivers elasticity, strength, and independent jaw movement in an ultra-light package. The result is a binding that adapts seamlessly to your boot, resists accidental release, and performs consistently in demanding terrain and cold conditions.
Paired with a modular heel unit designed to meet the varied needs of ski tourers, the Vario Light is built for long ascents, efficient transitions, and confident descents—without unnecessary complication.

Titanium Core System
A single titanium element links the toe jaws, allowing them to function independently rather than symmetrically. This refined design improves elasticity, ensures secure boot retention, and enhances safety across variable snow and terrain.
Entry is simple and efficient: engage the lever by hand or ski pole, step in, and lock. The titanium system adapts to a wide range of boot inserts while actively clearing snow and ice during use.
Independent Titanium Jaws
Each jaw responds individually to movement, offering more consistent retention and reducing the likelihood of accidental release compared to traditional pin systems.
Roto-Riveted Pins
Hardened steel pins with self-cleaning hollows are roto-riveted for exceptional durability and a secure, long-lasting interface with your boot.
The heel unit offers adaptable solutions to suit different touring styles and priorities—whether your focus is weight savings, simplicity, or efficiency on long days in the skin track.
